Status: Discussion (needs-consensus) · Priority: Medium
Needs community discussion, examples, and a clear decision record before implementation.

Recommendation: Prepare a short decision memo with use case, options considered, backwards-compatibility impact, and recommended path. Keep the model change minimal, JSON-LD-friendly, and aligned with existing Linked Art/CIDOC CRM patterns; include before/after records.
- Summarize the issue in one paragraph for maintainers.
- Extract affected documentation/model/API pages and likely files.
- Identify acceptance criteria and unresolved questions.
- Draft a balanced decision memo with options and tradeoffs.
- Generate valid before/after Linked Art JSON-LD examples.
